Board of Directors / National Director / Assistant Director / Regional Directors / State Directors / Community Directors / Volunteer Breeders, Sponsors, Promoters / Families with special needs children.
We can offer special needs children in your community a pony to love. Our ponies are also “roving ambassadors” and are taken wherever children can benefit from interacting with them. They can brighten the day or seniors in convalescent homes, light up an entire campful of cancer patients, be part of programs for emotionally disturbed children. Our ponies go to parades, fairs, day care centers, therapeutic riding centers. Think of any place where smiles are needed and our ponies will go.
